Arguably Carole King’s most popular song (and the competition is fierce). It was released as a single and topped the charts in April, 1971. Ironically, it was displaced as No. 1 by another one of Carole King’s songs – James Taylor’s version of You’ve Got a Friend.
It won the Grammy award as Record of the Year in 1972.
One of the many jewels in Tapestry.
One of the few songs in the album where the lyrics were written by another person – Toni Stern.
